10 Verses About Waiting

I find waiting an incredibly hard thing to do. I hate it usually. For the past year the Lord has told Shane and I to wait. He has shown us some direction and we have moved when He told us to move…like applying for jobs in a different community. But still, here we are…waiting. Waiting to know where we should go. Waiting to know when we should go. It’s really hard to wait. I struggled with it much more over the summer than I do now. I have finally come to the point where I am okay with waiting on God. But it wasn’t easy to come to that point. I fought with it for months and months. Let me tell you, surrendering to God and His will (even if it is to just wait) has brought peace and happiness. I guess I finally learned that today God’s will is for me to wait.

With that in mind, I have grabbed a couple verse from Psalms to share with you about waiting. I am sure you have heard most of them before but it can be a real blessing to hear them again. Read them carefully and let the Lord speak to you. Then pass them along to someone else who might be struggling with waiting.
